#Extreme sample converter play samples with midi install

hey Justin & Co, ever thought about creating a sampler? )Д¬ouple of times I have tried to check out Linux sampler, but gave up with the installation process due to all those extra packages it requires to work, which I don't care to install to my daw. I simply refuse to support companies with such business models. well, let's just say that isn't my idea of money well spent.

I just want the damn sampler, TYVM.ДЄlso, hundreds of ВЈ/$/в‚¬ for a piece of software that requires hardware copy protection, online activation, and restricts you to a closed monolithic format that you may only use with the lights out and a blanket over your head. If I'm going to buy a sampler I don't want to pay for a gazillion gigs of hip hop drum kits and synth basses and other crap that just *happen* to be bundled with it. Still, I think most renowned commercial samplers are bloated and overpriced.

A good, full featured sampler isn't something you're likely to just give away for free. So I've come to the conclusion, that samplers have to be bought, other tools might have freeware alternatives. It's different league for sure compared to a simle compressor or eq. On the other hand I completely understand that it takes lots of time/recources to program a sampler. There are some, but they are lacking in some aspect or another or being buggy as sfz for example. I think it's a kind of real shame that there is no full featured sampler plugins available as freeware. Maybe it's just me, but SC gets real sluggish if you load it up with a lot of big samples. I use Shortcircuit and Kontakt now instead.Д®veryone seems to like Shortcircuit a whole lot around here :) Unfortunately it's not the kind of sampler I need, as the developers themselves explicitly say that it's *not* intended for library playback. But as mentioned I'm not using the 1.97 version. The dfd thing is the only bug I've encountered with it. It tends to be better than most other players, but the software is so buggy that I use it less and less all the time. For the next bunch of patches that need to go to a different output, I just load a new instance of SFZ. I can easily combine several related patches into one soundfont and load them into one instance of SFZ (say, legato, staccato, pizzicato and tremolo violins). Multiple outputs isn't really a necessity in this scenario. Shortcircuit also has multi-outs ( 32 i think ) which allows for a lot more flexibility than using SFZ, unless i'm using the wrong SFZ player, i didn't even know there was more than one until now. As stated, SFZ's dfd mode is flaky though and Shortcircuit does unfortunately not have dfd at all.

Which is where streaming samples from disk comes into play. The problem is that I need to load a large number of big soundfonts that will not fit into RAM. SFZ also lets you do that, but that isn't the problem. sf2 file which may be what you need to reduce your ram use. But this allows to build up a bunch of sounds from different. sf2 file, which you may or may not want do do depending on your requirements.

sf2 file it opens up the file & lets you load just the patch you want to load from inside the.

As it doesn't seem likely that SFZ will ever see another update - and I'm definitely not going back to using smaller, lower-quality samples - it seems my only recourse is moving to some other sampler.

There is simply no other sf2 player that sounds as good. I've used SFZ for ages and I've always loved its ease of use and, more importantly, its sound quality. I'm on a tight budget here and I'm trying to rely on free stuff as much as I can. As for Kontakt and other big commercial samplers, those aren't really within my reach I'm afraid. Yes, I'm using a newer (unofficial) version, not the standard 1.97 one which is indeed unusable on multicore systems. If you have a multi core processor you can only use the latest SFZ, the earliest would probably have severe noise problems or can even crash your host if used in more than one instance in the same project.

Kontakt and WusikStation have far superior disk streaming mode, but, AFAIK, don't load Soundfonts (maybe Kontakt, but I don't know how well it imports SF2). I experienced clicks and pops as well, so that I mostly quit using it for big soundfonts. And yes, I'm talking about the free SFZ player, not SFZ+. That might be it then, it might have worked in the past but not anymore. I'm talking about the free player though, not payware sfz. But can't recall now what version it was (I'm not at my daw now). I can get something usable with the earliest incarnation of this plugin.
